Application December 26, 1934, Serial No. 759,160

4 Claims.

My invention relates to a comb for general use, and more particularlyfor the use in barber shops, beauty parlors, and the like. Its objectbeing to provide a comb whichis inexpensive, yet more 6 sanitary andhaving greater cleansing power over those already in use and one whichis more particularly adapted for the removal of small hairs, dandruff,dust, grit, dirt, scabs, scales, oil and the like, from ones head aftera cutting or trimming 10 by a barber, hair-dresser or the like.

There is no comb at the present time which canremove all of the finehairs from ones head after a cutting, and which is really sanitary. Thepresent method is chiefly the use of a very fine tooth l6 comb, whichcomb the barber uses on others. The present combs cannot pick up thefine hairs, due to their construction. My invention does eliminate suchfine hairs from ones head. My comb is so inexpensive, that it can bediscarded after use.

80 It can also be used to great advantage after a shampoo to eliminateall the waste matter from ones head, such as small hairs, dust, grit,dandruif, dirt, scales, scabs, oil and the like. My invention is light,inexpensive and easy to handle,

and does not require expert skill in order to accomplish its purpose.

My invention is principally made out of a paper composition. The teethof said comb are evenly spaced at about the same spacing used inordinary combs. However, there is provided between the teeth, of saidcomb and at the base thereof, a shoulder, wherein a fine soft materialsuch as cotton, in sufficient quantities as to effectuate our purpose,may be inserted and may be fastened permanently to the comb. Said combscan be made of any length or thickness with various spacing of theteeth. They may be wrapped in cellophane paper, and may be made socheaply, that they may be discarded after one use of each comb, thusmaking sure, that they are absolutely sanitary.

While my invention is preferably made out of a paper composition,together with the use of cotton, I do not intend to limit the scope ofmy invention to those materials, as one can readily as see, that manyother materials may be used in the construction of the comb, and also inthe construction of the filler, or cleansing part thereof, withoutdeparting from the scope of my invention.

I have illustrated the invention in one form only. I do not intend tolimit myself to this particular method as it is apparent, that manyother methods may be employed for obtaining the same result withoutdeparting from the scope of my invention.

My invention will be more clearly understood from the drawing, to whichreference is now made.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of comb.

Figure 2 is an enlarged detail of Fig. 1.

Figure 3 is a cross-section on line 3-4 of Fig. 2.

Referring to Figures 1 and 3, one obtains an illustration of myinvention in one form. Comb ID has ordinary t eeth i I, with a recessportion it formed at the base of the teeth to receive the absorbentmaterial l3; shoulder It prevents the absorbent material from fallingout and permits a tight packing of the absorbent material l3 as may bereadily seen..

What I claim is:

1. In an article of manufacture, as described, a composite bar, stampedso as to form a comb containing straight teeth, said teeth being evenlyspaced and containing a recessed portion and shoulder at the junctionthereof, and an absorbent to fill said recess portion.

2. A comb, having straight evenly spaced teeth, and having a recessedportion containing a shoulder at the junction of said teeth and anabsorbent placed therein.

3. In combination a comb containing straight teeth being stamped from acomposition, having evenly spaced teeth and containing at the junctionof said teeth and between said teeth a recessed portion and shoulder andhaving placed in said recess an absorbent.

4. A comb stamped from cardboard, containing straight teeth, evenlyspaced and having at the junction of said teeth and between said teeth arecessed portion and shoulder and having cotton placed in said recessedportion.
